Set of 4 Christmas Highland Cow Placemats - Brown & White

This rectangular placemat brings a Highland cow in a red Santa hat to the Christmas table, walking through a soft, snowy landscape. The cow is illustrated in warm ginger-brown, its shaggy fringe falling over gentle dark eyes, with white flakes drifting across its coat. Behind it, pale frosted trees and a misty hillside fade into a white winter scene, so the brown and white colours feel calm and wintry rather than loud. The placemat measures 29cm wide and 21.5cm from front to back, a familiar size that sits neatly beneath a dinner plate. Its corners are gently rounded, and the back has a plain speckled light brown finish.

Lay it beneath a plate for Christmas Day dinner, a Christmas Eve supper or a festive breakfast in the kitchen, and the cow's friendly face greets whoever sits down. The design suits a farmhouse kitchen, a country-style dining room or a cottage table, and it looks just as at home on a modern table where a little winter wildlife feels welcome through December. Away from mealtimes, it makes a cheerful base on a sideboard or kitchen island for a bowl of clementines, a small arrangement of pine cones or a stack of Christmas cards waiting to be written.

The illustration runs right across the flat printed top to the rounded edges, while the speckled light brown back rests flat on the table. To keep the print fresh, wipe the top with a soft damp cloth after each meal, dry it straight away and store it flat somewhere dry until next Christmas. It makes a warm little Christmas gift tucked under the tree, and on the table we like it with plain white plates and red napkins, which pick up the red of the cow's Santa hat beautifully.
